It seems rather shameful that people of this club have refrained from starting a topic on this group ever since it began....i'm a tyro at hi 5 bt read these beauties in 2001.....they were in complete coherence to my state of mind then,it seemed cogently to prove its mettle but after going through The Communist Manifesto i got the bigger picture of the ground reality...it seems quite obnoxious;to be polite; that i have started questioning the very principles i believed in....since if we evaluate rand's perspective it seems quite apparant that she left many questions unanswered even in her essays(ref. the virtue of selfishness)..there is complete ignorance of the deaux principle stated by her in her lectures(ref. the virtue of selfishness)in comparision to shrugged or fountainhead ....i hope some1 takes a stand very soon or it seems a great shame for all its members to simply post "hi group" notes on a highly commendable authors group
